EDU 3040 Class 8/30

Our entire class tonight focused on WebQuests. A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet with a clear task in mind. WebQuests are great for teachers. Students must find information on their own, but still have a little help on where to look. WebQuests are a wonderful way to bring technology into teaching.

We spent time in the computer lab looking at WebQuests on the internet. This gave us an idea on what information was needed. It also helped us to know how to arrange one. Then, we began making our own WebQuests. There is more to it than I thought, but I am excited to make one and see how it turns out.
